Expedition Day 8 – The Leaders

Relaxed start to the day with Nathan joining James & Debs at the gym (the warmest place to be this morning, twas a little chilly!!) It felt like wind chill factor of -12° ❄ but probably about 10°, although having gone with the advice from the inspection trip team [you won’t need a hoodie, its roasting in Romania] none of us had a jumper / hoodie or anything long sleeved !!! 🤤

Sporting our best shorts & tshirts we piled into the red jallopy and headed to visit the Citadel perched high on the hill above Rasnov..

Our tarnsport to the gates of the Citadel was a tractor train which passed Dino Park (twice) much to Tedwards dismay 😟 {Team 2 have agreed to take him with them on Thursday 😊}

Views at the top were stunning….! & still cold…..

Back down the hill to the red jallopy we headed to Bran for a spot of lunch and to catch up with Teams 1 & 5 at Vampire Camping. Great to find them all still smiling and happy…

With teams 1 & 5 happy, it was back into the red jallopy and back to base in Rasnov, with a quick stop for supplies…where James found some new headgear…😂

The sun decided to play ball and appeared from behind the clouds, so that meant one thing, an hour on our new loungers before heading into Brasov to meet teams 2 & 3

It was time for us to grab some dinner, pizza, pasta & salads. On the way back to base we dropped into visit team 3 again who were staying in Cristian for the evening and had met up with some local Romanian Scouts & their leader.

Was great to see that the Romanian Scouts had already completed their Explorer Belt… we left them to it and continued heading home to Rasnov to some duvet cosiness…
